Hi!
There's nothing too exciting to blog about. We spent the whole day in the classroom learning about Ethiopia's rangeland ecology. A few of us are not feeling too well, probably from the malaria pill, the heat or both. We've been sticking to sticking to North American cuisines, the pizza here is amazingly delicious, most be the Italian influence. It's weird to eat out three times a day, the food here is a bit greasy. I really missing drip coffee, we can only get expresso or macchiato here. Last night, we went to a local hang out spot. It was on the roof top of the Dashen Bank. It's more of a bar/cafe, they played North American dance music all night long. It was neat to see where the students hang out. The view was pretty fantastic, you can see lake Awassa and appreciate the size. We will leave you a few pictures of Awassa from the roof top.
Take care! (and we'll do the same!)
